H2-View News: HEA launches ‘state of the hydrogen nation’ survey
The HEA expects the survey to deliver a clear snapshot of the UK hydrogen industry’s current state, assessing factors such as business confidence, workforce skills, investment levels, and key challenges. It will also offer recommendations for government actions to maximise job creation, investment, and decarbonisation opportunities in the hydrogen sector. The final results will form a detailed report for government, businesses, and investors, scheduled for publication in early 2026. Hydrogen will be “pivotal” to the UK’s energy ambitions, according to Dr. Emma Guthrie, CEO of the Hydrogen Energy Association. “By hearing directly from businesses at the forefront of production, storage, [...]
H2-View News: RTU leads construction of hydrogen-powered fishing boat
Riga Technical University (RTU) will lead a consortium of partners from France, Lithuania, and Estonia to build the 12-metre coastal vessel at the AtoZ shipyard in Riga. France’s Genevos will supply the 40kW fuel cell, while the Vidzeme University of Applied Sciences and the Tallinn Centre of the Stockholm Environmental Institute will also support the €3.38m ($3.9m) project. Backed with €2.8m ($3.2m) from the EU, through its Mission Ocean programme, the project is set to run until October 31, 2026. RTU’s Maria Indrikova said the aim is to create “a sustainable technological solution,” which can be “practical, reliable, and contribute [...]
H2-View News: Upbeat Lhyfe CEO pins green hydrogen hopes on large scale and modular
Founder, Chairman and CEO Matthieu Guesné said its 100MW Green Horizon project in Normandy is “well on track” for final investment decision in 2026. The second tranche of French government subsidy should be released “in the first half of next year” for the 28,000 sqm project. The first payment, for €18.6m, was received in June. “The time it takes us to get the environmental authorisation [and] to start the construction [means it will] enter commercial operation in 2029,” he said. “Any site which is now starting this kind of authorisation will not enter into operation before the end of the [...]
H2-View News: ICL to manage ammonia supply for new hydrogen JV with AFC Energy
Under the 50:50 partnership, ICL will procure and manage ammonia supplies, leverage its existing logistics network to transport the fuel safely, and connect the resulting hydrogen to its established industrial customer base. The hydrogen produced will then be marketed and sold jointly, targeting users who need low-carbon, cost-competitive hydrogen without major new infrastructure. “By harnessing ammonia, we can provide customers with cost-effective, low-carbon hydrogen without the need for large-scale, capital-intensive domestic hydrogen facilities,” ICL’s statement said. “Leveraging ammonia’s role as a globally traded commodity with existing storage and infrastructure will unlock a flexible and economically viable supply chain for the [...]

H2-View News: Zonal power pricing would cut German green hydrogen costs by 20%: Hy2Gen
The green hydrogen producer has argued zonal pricing could make green hydrogen production 20% cheaper, as electricity accounts for 70–80% of electrolysis costs. Yet under Germany’s single price zone, uniform wholesale rates apply nationwide, even in the north, where renewable power is abundant and cheaper. Adjusting price zones could “save companies more than €2bn in electricity costs,” Hy2Gen stated. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) claimed the economic gains from splitting the price zone would be lower than the costs of reconfiguring the market.

H2-View News: More groups urge UK government to include ammonia in new hydrogen strategy
In a letter to energy minister Michael Shanks, lobby groups representing hydrogen, maritime, ports and more, said low-carbon ammonia could help deliver against the UK’s “strategic goals associated with hydrogen.” It was signed by leaders of the Hydrogen Energy Association, Hydrogen UK, British Ports Association, Society of Maritime Industries and more. Describing the hydrogen and nitrogen compound as “essential” to a “range of functions” within the sector, they urged the government to ensure clean ammonia is “explicitly integrated” into the country’s hydrogen strategy. The call comes as the government is due to release a promised update to its national hydrogen strategy, billed [...]

H2-View News: Daimler, KHI, HHLA aim to prove viability of liquid hydrogen imports for Europe
Under a new memorandum of understanding (MoU), the trio will explore importing liquid hydrogen through the Port of Hamburg for onward transport by road or rail. KHI is expected to handle supply from liquefaction and shipping – using its liquid hydrogen carrier technology to ship hydrogen from low-cost producers to Europe. HHLA will look at how to receive, store, and distribute the hydrogen, with Daimler hoping to deploy its fuel cell trucks for transportation. They say the collaboration could build a model for a European liquid hydrogen supply chain to prove its technical and economic viability. The firms are also [...]
H2-View News: Stargate Hydrogen’s 10MW electrolyser to make commercial debut in Åland with OX2
The project, led by OX2, marks the first commercial installation of Stargate’s ceramic-based 10MW Aurora electrolyser and forms part of a wider non-binding agreement to develop large-scale green hydrogen projects across the Nordics. “Partnering with Stargate Hydrogen allows us to connect world-class electrolyser technology with our large-scale renewable energy portfolio,” Anders Wiklund said, the Regional Manager at OX2 Ålund. By the end of 2024, the Swedish energy firm’s portfolio represented over 25GW under development across nine markets. Under the cooperation agreement, the two companies will also work within ABB’s €150m H2 Springboard programme, contributing technology and expertise to attract public [...]
